ALUMINIUM HAS LONG BEEN FIGHTING ITS WAY BACK INTO THE DOMESTIC MARKET.
With modern thermal barriers, slim sight lines and the materials inherent strength it is usually lead times that remain a barrier to offering aluminium as a solution.
We can supply white windows for domestic projects using the Alitherm 47 system with an approximate 10 working day lead time giving your customer
the choice of aluminium.
OFFER ALUMINIUM AS AN OPTION

Do not use for natural stone or aquarium applications. It is always the user’s responsibility to determine suitability of use.
DIRECTIONS FOR USEFor interior and exterior use. Surfaces to be sealed must be clean, dry and free from dust, dirt, frost, grease and other contamination. Cut the cartridge tip and applicator nozzle to the required dimension, screw nozzle onto cartridge.
Temperature application range between +5°c and +40°c. It is always the users responsibility to determine suitability of use. If in any doubt, consult technical data sheet. Wash hands after use.

1. ESTABLISH THE CUSTOMERS’ REQUIREMENTS• Is the window or door inward or outward opening? Left or Right Handed?• Any special specification requirements? • Any enhancements in respect to security issues?• Any restriction devices required?• Wheelchair access?
2. ASSESS THE APERTURE FOR SUITABILITY• Any defects and deficiencies around the structural opening? • Any brickwork removal?
3. MEASURING THE APERTURE• Measurements of width and height should be taken and the squareness of the aperture determined by taking diagonal measurements. The smallest measurement of width and height is used to determine manufacturing sizes.• Is a sub cill required? • The difference between internal and external reveal sizes should be determined.
4. CALCULATING THE MANUFACTURING SIZES• Expansion and contraction should be taken into consideration. • Allowances should be made with regard to the window or door set and building aperture tolerances. ALUMINIUM ONLYRecommended deduction for width or height of structural opening; • Up to 1.5m = 10mm• 1.5m to 3.0m = 10mm
• 3.0m to 4.5m = 15mm• Over 4.5m = 20mm • These deductions are from the total width or height and are not ‘per side’• The gap required for effective polyurethane foam fixing at the head is 10mm to 15mm.• When fitting frames into existing timber sub-frames deduct 4mm.• Intermediate expansion joints may be required when the width or height exceeds 3m.
5. PERFORMANCE AND SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS• The following should be considered: Weather tightness/Drainage/Thresholds/ Letter plates/Hardware/Side Panels/ Georgian Bars/Planning Permission/ Risk Assessment/Cleaning Requirements
6. STRUCTURAL LOADING REQUIREMENTS• When a load bearing situation is suspected or confirmed then it is essential that the system supplier’s recommendations are followed.• Bay Windows – special structural calculations may be necessary.• Coupled Windows – determine the method to be used, taking into account wind and dead loads, visual appearance and position of the coupling• Window/Door Lintel – reasonable steps should be taken to check there is a lintel or other means of support.
7. INSTALLATION – ALUMINIUM WINDOWS AND DOORS• Wherever practicable all four sides of the frame should be secured.
GUIDE TO INSTALLATION
81
• Coupled assemblies are usually delivered to site as separate units and should be fastened together in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.• Windows and door sets should be installed plumb and square with the aperture without twist, racking or distortion. • Frame placement – replacement windows and door sets should be positioned to minimize the amount of making good.• Open cavities discovered between inner and outer skins of brick or block work should be bridged or closed with an insulating material.• Installation packers should be used adjacent to fixing positions to prevent outer frame distorting during installation.
8. INSTALLATION – FIXINGThere are two principle methods of fixing available, which may be used separately or in combination: through frame fixings and lug fixings. The surveyor is responsible for specifying the nature, location and quantity of the fixings, taking into account the manufacturer’s instructions.• Imposed loads – each frame member should be fixed to the substrate or to an adjacent window or door set.• Fixing Considerations – presence or absence of a wall cavity/the nature of any cavity/the relative position of the frame and the cavity/position of the plaster line/ design of the reveal/any requirements for fire resistance.• Foam Fixing should under no circumstances be used as the sole method of fixing the entire frame into the reveal, but can be a useful adjunct to mechanical fixings.• Lug fixing – a twist in lug anchor can be installed into the outer frame then the lug is connected to the sub structure.
9. INSTALLATION – GLAZING• Inspection – all insulating glass units should be examined for damage prior to installation.• Installation – all accessories should be installed in accordance with BS8000-7.• Insulating/Safety Glass units should be orientated with the safety glass on the appropriate side; it is a legal requirement that the marking on the safety glass remains visible after installation.• It is essential that units are toe and heeled correctly to ensure that the opening and closing operations are not hindered.
10. INSTALLATION – SEALING• The purpose of the perimeter sealants is to repel water and prevent air leakage in the face of differential movement between the aperture and the window or door set.• Sealant type – should be tested and classified in accordance with BS EN ISO 11600.• Considerations – perimeter joints should be sealed with the sealant compatible with the frame material and the substrate.• Sealant Backing – Sealant should be applied against a firm backing so that it is forced against the sides of the joint during application.• Trims and Pressings should be compatible with the material of the frame and should be colour matched where specified.
11. INSTALLATION – COMMISSIONINGAfter installation a final inspection should be carried out, preferably accompanied by the purchaser. It is essential that the user is made aware of the operation of the window or door set. It is good practice to have the purchaser sign off the inspection after the inspection has been passed.
